template/generic instantiation of `importc` from here #118

Open blockoutdev opened 3 weeks ago

blockoutdev commented 3 weeks ago

trying to generate a wrapper for flecs (https://github.com/SanderMertens/flecs)

directory looks like this 

root /
   wrap_flecs.nim
   flecs /
      flecs.c
      flecs.h
      libflecs.so
      libflecs_static.a

wrap_flecs.nim is just 

import futhark

{.passL: "./flecs/libflecs_static.a".}

importc:
  outputPath "./libflecs_generated.nim"
  path "./flecs" 
  "flecs.h"

nim has an issue with importc line, its giving the error in the title.

PMunch commented 3 weeks ago

Do you have a full error? That is only a small part of the error messages.

blockoutdev commented 3 weeks ago

the editor is also pointing out the issue but it only shows "template/generic instantiation of importc from here"

PMunch commented 3 weeks ago

Yeah, the editor shortens the message, sometimes to the point where it is useless..

The actual problem here is at the end:

Error: interpretation requires too many iterations; if you are sure this is not a bug in your code, compile with `--maxLoopIterationsVM:number` (current value: 10000000)

This happens if the output from Opir is large, which happens very easily. Just throw a couple of zeros on the end of that number and it works fine.

blockoutdev commented 3 weeks ago

Thanks for the help. The nim wrapper code is being generated now. I put together a simple test to see if it works, but the compiler is giving "undefined reference" errors for all the symbols im using from the library. im compiling with just nim c test_flecs_wrapper.nim

honestly im not sure if Im grasping this fully. once the nim wrapper code is generated, do I need to reference the nim file that generated the wrapper? and is an include or import statement used if I want to use the wrapper?

the editor is picking up the symbols fine and suggesting autocompletes

test_flecs_wrapper:


import libflecs
var world = ecs_init()

var e = ecs_new(world)
echo ecs_is_alive(world, e)
ecs_delete(world, e)
echo ecs_is_alive(world, e)

discard ecs_fini(world)

heres the generated code for reference

PMunch commented 3 weeks ago

You just import the module containing the Futhark code, it will cache the output so once you've run it once it's basically a no-op unless you change anything.

Those errors are from the C compiler, Futhark doesn't attempt to tell the C compiler how to find the symbols because it can be done in multiple different ways. Typically you'd have a so/dll/dynlib file, or you link against a .a file, or even you just include the .h files. But that all depends on your library.

blockoutdev commented 2 weeks ago

wow, it works. I have it running on compilation and it echos everything out as expected. Whats the best way to get the editor to recognize the symbols? I had trouble trying to import the generated nim code directly (the result of passing outputPath to importc). am I better off refactoring the wrapper with my own nim code to obscure all the 'undeclared reference' issues, or is there a way to get editor integration with the futhark code?
